Locating Linguistic Variation: A Case Study of English Auxiliary Contraction
Labov goes on to argue that the observed patterning of deletion with regards to other variable phenomena (specifically, copula contraction) argues for one analysis in particular: that by which forms of be are deleted by phonological processes.
